In an unprecedented move, Hillary is offering her pledged delegates to vote for Barak Obama.
Hillary: Pledged Delegates "Just Like" Supers — They Can Switch
By Eric Kleefeld - March 25, 2008, 12:09AM
During an interview with the Philadelphia Daily News editorial board, Hillary Clinton again pitched the idea that she can close the gap in the pledged delegate count — by pointing out that pledged delegates can always switch their votes.
"And also remember that pledged delegates in most states are not pledged," said Clinton. "You know, there is no requirement that anybody vote for anybody. They’re just like super-delegates."
The move has stunned supporters in both camps. Most supporters were left dazed and confused by the offer.
Hillary previously hinted at such a strategy about two weeks ago, while over a month ago the campaign had to deny reports that they would attempt such a thing.

There has been some consternation amonst Hillary's pledged delegates.
Is Hillary trying to 'feel out' her pledged supporters?
Weed out the waverers(sic) early?
Fear of retribution is running rampant amongst Hillary's pledged supporters. If they switch to Obama, will they get knee capped?
Will they be side swiped by household plumbling? Is this a coyyyy russse by the Clinton camp? Brilliant triagulation, quadrulagulation? Star Trek multi-level chess of untold complicated brillance! Is Data(character from Star Trek for 'fans' not in the know) working on Hillary's behalf?
Only Bill in Portland Maine knows.(That dude seems to know everything, and sometimes Atrios although he won't admit it)
So I make this humble request to Hillary's pledged supporters, fear not my friends, I've been hit by household plumbing, sure it stings a bit but you'll live. Take Hillary up on her offer, switch to Obama. I'm eager to start kicking McCain's ass.
PS To those that believe that I am 'twisting' Hillary's words or taking them out of 'context' or using the quote thingys once to many times, I say this, what's good for the gander is good for the goose.
